A Friday "Gringo" Market in Volcan

The Tuesday Market in Boquete is a great place to go buy some local items, get some fresh fruits and veggies and meet up with other expats in the area. The Volcan Friday Market is quite similar, although a smaller size. Many expats in the area sell items like homemade sausage, fruits, veggies, trees, plants, bread, goat milk, yogurt and more! It is also a great place to meet up with other expats living in Volcan. They also have a meeting for expats in the restaurant where the market is held at the same time.

To get to the market, which is open on Fridays from 9-11, find the Mana Restaurant on your favorite map app. It is on the edge of town, on a little side road if you are headed toward Bugaba on the Volcan Road. Here is what the restaurant/hostel looks like and what it looks like on a Friday with cars lining the road.


Walk through the gate on the right hand side of the restaurant and that will take you down the driveway straight to the market.  

Turn left into the market. As you can see, there are about 8-10 tables set up with a lot to offer, plenty of people to meet, and tasty treats to enjoy! Be sure to bring cash and enjoy!
